Preparing Your Views For Adding Navigation Controls

When you create a Web Application project using the Starter Web Application template, Designer adds a header.view file to the project. The header.view file contains navigation and other elements that you want to appear on each page of the Web application.

Basic Steps

Use an Import View control in each of your views to import the header.view into all new views that you create for the Web application. As a result, all pages in the application will have a common header that includes the navigation.

 

Note: The default.view that Designer creates for you is set up to import the header.view.

For instruction for how to modify the navigation controls in the header.view file so that that the application displays navigation controls based on the logged in user’s role, see Building the Navigation Controls for the Application Views.

Detailed Step-By-Step Instructions

1	Open a view for your application.

2	From the Project view, drag Project > WebContent > header.view into your view.

3	Save the changes to the view.

4	Repeat for each view in your application.
